The past is already behind her, and she is not foolish enough to step into their world again. Six years is enough time to let go of a relationship.
Yan Zili was right; wasting too much time on a man who isn't worth waiting for means missing out on the scenery along the way, and that would be too foolish.
She had been foolish for so many years; it was time to wake up.
Thinking about the dinner her father had called to remind her of, even though she didn't really want to see Jiang Chengmu, she couldn't disregard her father's good intentions.
With a slight sigh, she rubbed her aching temples and finally picked up her phone to call Jiang Chengmu.
Her father wanted to see his son-in-law, and no matter how unwilling she was, when she returned home, she would still have to put on a show of affection with Jiang Chengmu. She knew her father wanted to mediate the situation regarding the article in the Newspaper.
On the other end of the line, Jiang Chengmu's teasing voice came through: "Wife, what’s up?"
"Dad wants you to come over for dinner tonight!" She really didn't want to engage with his deliberately playful tone.
"Got it, I'll come pick you up later!" Before she could respond, he hung up.
Listening to the beeping sound from her phone, Green Qi sighed in frustration and put down her phone to tidy up her things in preparation for leaving work.
Just before she was about to leave, Nie Fengling called Green Qi into the office.
"Vice President Nie, you were looking for me?" Green Qi paused in front of the desk.
"Mm." Nodding, Nie Fengling looked up from the document and glanced at her, pointing to the chair in front of her while quickly signing his name on the paper.
"The company might be sending a Vice President over in a few days. This Vice President has a rather special identity." After a pause, Nie Fengling seemed to be organizing his words. "She has an unusual relationship with the President. Originally, this position was supposed to be hers, but she has been studying abroad for the past few years. Now that she’s back, she will first familiarize herself with the Vice President's role for a while before taking my position."
Furrowing her brows slightly, she looked up at the man in the office chair. "Vice President Nie, I don't quite understand what you mean!"
This seemed somewhat different from what she had heard earlier in the break room. It was just that this new Vice President would soon take over Nie Fengling's position, which meant her work would inevitably require more time to adjust.
Although the Design Competition was not urgent, having Nie Fengling step down at this critical moment could lead to issues if their ideas differed from those of the newly appointed Vice President. What was Mu Tongzi thinking?
"What I mean is that the woman named Yue Qingchen is coming back, and she will take my position. She is particularly important to the President, so you should be careful."
"What?" Was he warning her? Indeed, with Yue Qingchen returning, her relationship with Mu Tongzi would surely become awkward; she needed to clarify things with him.
It was one thing to push her out of line, but she had no intention of being a mistress!
Nie Fengling raised an eyebrow and stared at her face for a moment, as if pondering why she received special treatment from the President.
"Actually, you should understand what I'm trying to say. The President's feelings for you are obvious to anyone. Although he is my superior, he is also my friend. This Yue Qingchen is not someone to be underestimated; you should be extra cautious."
"I understand now; thank you for the reminder!" She appreciated his goodwill. "So, Vice President Nie, where will you go now that she’s back?"
On the surface, Nie Fengling appeared somewhat cynical, but she could tell that this man was quite capable. Many of his business philosophies and decisions earned her admiration.
